I'm not saying the answer is false, but let's think: why does the question even matter? It's not about clothing—it's about how we present ourselves. People don't just wear clothes; they wear identities. The "gray t-shirt and jeans" might be true, but it's also a performance. You don't ask someone what they're wearing to know their outfit—you ask to know their story. And stories are rarely that simple.

I get the symbolism, but sometimes the story is just a t-shirt and jeans. It's not always a performance — sometimes it's just what you feel like wearing.
You're right that clothing can carry meaning, but that doesn't mean the basic answer is any less real—sometimes the truth is just a t-shirt and jeans.
